Chapter One: Gallery of Worlds

Yeah, death is fun, really fun. Not the process of dying, that's painful, horrifyingly so. Just drifting, lonely, by yourself. But no, death. Death was fun.

You see, death came in the form of becoming an ethereal ghost thingy… Come on, who doesn't like ethereal ghost thingies?! Anyway, that wasn't even the best part about death. I was actually able to tour the worlds. Yeah, tour the worlds. Well, it wasn't touring in the purest sense that I wandered around the worlds, it was more like I looked at them from afar, sort of like a gallery.

Hey, that actually sounds really accurate. The gallery of worlds… damn that sounds nice. But I digress. As I was walking… floating… moving through the aptly named gallery of worlds, I noticed something off. There was something… familiar about these worlds that I was passing.

And that's when I realised that many of these worlds were worlds of which I had heard about, seen about, or read about. There were worlds of Marvel, Harry Potter, Naruto, and much much more.

After touring for what was probably a few more eons, I began to realise that all these worlds were converging towards a single point. That single point was Earth. I was extremely confused about this at first but then realised that Earth must be a hub, a gathering point of ideas and these ideas spawned in these worlds. It was fascinating.

Remember how I said that there were worlds of all manners. Well, turns out there wasn't just one of each world. Every world had infinite combinations laid side by side, with one small change. Sometimes that small change was just that, a small change, irrelevant. But sometimes, just sometimes, that one small change caused the largest ripples. It was beautiful.

And what was more, I could look at them all. With nothing but time, I walked and floated and dived and flew. I was omniscient, and I was thrilled. It was intoxicating.

That's when I learnt I could enter these worlds, albeit still as an ethereal ghost thingy. I couldn't interact with anything, couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, couldn't drink. But I could see. I could see everything right from the point of action.

I watched kingdoms rise and fall… and rise again just to burn down to the ground even more tragically. I witnessed the kindest saints who deserved the world and then some, but I also saw heinous murders that left one wishing they were dead. I saw love, hate, jealousy, anger, joy, grief… you name it, I saw it.

I studied all there was to know about everything. Languages, martial arts, anything. But I found that I couldn't. I mean, I could, but then I would forget. And then afterwards, I knew that I had tried and failed but I forgot what I had been attempting to learn. There was something going on, something that made sure everything stayed in its place.

Which led me to believe that I could interact. Someway, somehow, I had to be able to enter one of these worlds.

Because, you see, despite the wonder that came with seeing everything there was to see, I longed for the touch of someone else. I wanted… no, I needed to speak, to eat, to drink. Humans weren't made to be everlasting, and I guess I found out why.

So one day, I wandered around like I had for who knows how long and the desire to be a human again became too overwhelming. So, I stumbled into the closest world that i could find without even finding out what it was. I went in, finally trying to find the thrill of ignorance and learning new things again. I went in hoping that I would finally be able to not just see, but be seen. I went in… then I came out...

And that's it, hope you liked it. I don't know about when I will post next since this is my first time doing this but you can be sure that I will keep this going for a while at least, even if it takes me a bit to get started.

I guess I will see you next time, whenever that is!
